First Christian Church

First Christian Church of Leisure World teaches from God’s word, the Holy Bible, verse by verse.

It is a friendly church that welcomes all visitors to join in worship and explore God’s word together, “That we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine” Romans 1:12.

Pastor’s Message

Abram and his wife, Sarai, yearned to have a son. Despite God’s promise that Abram’s descendants would be as numerous as the stars, they conspired to intervene. After 10 years in the land God promised them, they became impatient and decided to take things into their own hands.

In Genesis 16:2-3 Sarai tells her husband Abram that he should marry her maid Hagar and have children. When Hagar conceived, Sarai despised her. Jealousy and blame rose to surface and difficulties to this day remain within the descendants of Sarai and Hagar.

Trusting and waiting on God to do what he has promised can be difficult. It is best to have patience and wait on him to give guidance and wisdom.
